Which Fogarty method uses themes to guide instruction?

• A. Sequenced
• B. Shared Integration
• C. Webbed Integration
• D. Threaded Integration

Answer: (C)

Fogarty’s Theme Approach centers on organizing instruction around a unifying theme and linking ideas across multiple subject areas. The webbed integration model embodies this by mapping a central theme and radiating connections to many related topics across different disciplines, forming a network rather than a straight line. This structure lets students see how concepts from science, math, language arts, and other areas interrelate around a single theme, promoting deeper understanding, relevance, and transfer of learning. The emphasis is on the breadth and richness of connections, not just teaching topics in isolation or in a simple sequence, which is why this approach best fits the idea of using themes to guide instruction.
